Well, I've never really seen a person (on tv or anywhere) who would dress as Chewbacca when going to work and asks people to call him "princess", but I've seen wacky people dressing up in starfleet uniforms and demand their coworkers to call them Admiral. Or leaving work so the can devote more time to their shrine to William Shatner.SirNitram wrote:Trekkie was used as an insult against exactly the sort of folk Trekkie means: A fanatic whose completely out of touch with the real world. Of course, this upset the Trekkies, so they made up 'Warsie'. What's really pathetic is that if you used the terms in the wide world, no one would know what 'Warsie' meant. But everyone would know what 'Trekkie' meant.

He tried- he failed.Dooey Jo wrote:Where did he prove TL's are pathecially weak? At numerous occasions, I see him saying that he's already proven it at another page, but I can't seem to find said page. Actually, that reminds me of someone else, who used to claim he'd already proven things...
He accepts the Turbolaser Commentaries page, but somehow ignores the large asteroids vaporized, takes the smallest one, and takes the minimum estimate for it (250 TJ minimum for the smallest asteroid vaporized in the movie), and calls it a maximum estimate. Then he makes wild claims that photon torps are 420000 TJ and 100 megatons and phasers are 10 gigatons.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? Do they see an amazingly stupid statement and think they finally got the Evil Warsie with their pants down, only to realize too late that they made the stupid statement to support their side?Alan Bolte wrote:I love it when they do that.Rogue 9 wrote:Hehehehehehe.

No, they leave Virus-X with his "Mad military skillz" to guard the bastion, and they run forward waving their plastic Bat'leths and charge the opposition.Master of Ossus wrote:BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Darth Wong wrote:Newland called himself "Fleet Admiral Thompson" here. He's a complete imbecile who has absolutely no shame about using an argument even if it's been disproven (to his face) fifty times.
So, this "Last Bastion of Trek" is currently guarded by DarkStar, tjhairball, Fleet Admiral Thompson, and the Avatar of Narendra?
ROFL! With a party like that, who WOULDN'T want to sign up?
Would the bastion be Stewie's Lemonade Stand, by any chance?

That's interesting. It's been claimed in the actual scene in ANH that this is an elevator, that for this reason it cannot possibly be some kind of wall charge (since it would be "too close" to the troopers trapped in the elevator and thus they'd be killing themselves). In the scene the door could be to a lift, or it might just be a door I guess. I assumed this was a blaster incident (vs. the Blockade Runner boarding action), but I could be wrong.JediMaster415 wrote:From I have, the novelization only says that the stormtroopers blasted a gaping hole in the door. You do mean the detention cell fight, right?
Luke and Leia had started back up the corridor when a series of blinding explosions ripped the walkway ahead of them. Several troopers had tried coming through the elevator, only to be crisped one after another by Chewbacca. Disdaining the elevators, they had blown a gaping hole through a wall. The opening was too large for Solo and the Wookiee to cover completely. In twos and threes, the Imperials were working their way into the detention block.
I dunno, I've seen some pretty nutty Star Wars fans. Like the guy who painted his car to "look like an X-wing" (heh) and posed for pics in front of it wearing his homemade pilot outfit. Then there's the folks who camped out in costume for each movie, etc. etc.Slartibartfast wrote:Well, I've never really seen a person (on tv or anywhere) who would dress as Chewbacca when going to work and asks people to call him "princess", but I've seen wacky people dressing up in starfleet uniforms and demand their coworkers to call them Admiral.

Now perhaps they aren't quite on the level of the most fanatical Trek fans, but just wait, Trek has only an extra decade on us, and lots more visual material. Perhaps in 2014 we'll finally get "Warsies" the movie. ; )

The car was an A-Wing IIRC but serriously dude, for every warsie that does a stunt like that there are 100 perma-virgins with their bedroom/basement converted into a bridge. Or theres the wacko who turned up to JURY DUTY dressed in a TNG uniform.Kurgan wrote:I dunno, I've seen some pretty nutty Star Wars fans.

A-Wing? NERD ALERT!!!
Just keep telling yourself that. We Warsies get laid all the time and are "cool" and smart, but those Trekkies of course, are the opposite. ; )

Luke, Han, and Chewie arrived on a turbolift through that door. That door therefore leads to the turbolift shaft. Unless you're suggesting that the stormtroopers climbed down the shaft, they were in a turbolift car.Kurgan wrote:That's interesting.

You're talking about part-time geeks that do that once in a while, as a hobby or just when the movie comes out. I'm talking deluded crazy people who dress up every day like that who go to work and demand to be addressed by rank by everyone else.Kurgan wrote:I dunno, I've seen some pretty nutty Star Wars fans.

Trekkies are a much more recent phenomenon than Trek. In fact they were "born" more or less at the same time as Wars came out.Now perhaps they aren't quite on the level of the most fanatical Trek fans, but just wait, Trek has only an extra decade on us, and lots more visual material.
